Traditional clothes

The most common feature for women was a characteristic short shirt or blouse called käised, sleeves. Complemented with a vertically striped skirt, it constituted the typical north Estonian women’s dress. In men’s dress, the most widespread garment in 19th century North Estonia was a blue suit with knee breechess. White or blue and white striped linen clothes were used for summer wear. The main headgear for men was a tall black felt hat.
